Dear Diary,

When I was younger I used to keep a diary. I rarely wrote in it because I decided it was my secrets diary. It was a list of all the secrets that I have never told. I usually tell Mac everything so the list was fairly short.

Right now we are on the plane. I am sitting near the front with Quinn. Mac and Kay are in the seats across the aisle.

I am generally a pretty shy person. Everyone tells me that. Mac is more outgoing than me, but she takes me everywhere with her so I’m not like the stereotypical shy girl. I don’t hide out in the library, even if I wanted to.

Sometimes I just want to let loose and be free but…I get freaked out. My mom told me that she was exactly the same. She said that during her senior year in high school, that would be this year for me, she started being more outgoing. Her friends called her crazy and she landed the most popular boy in school, my dad. Can you believe he was the cool kid in school?? She said it just hit her one day. I hope that happens soon.

We go to an all-girls school so how am I supposed to get the most popular boy in school? Maybe the most popular boy from the all-boys school will notice me. He is dreamy but is he what I want? No. I want something different.

I just want to be noticed.

By someone.

Anyone.

Maybe I could meet someone on this trip. Some American guys are really cute. Maybe one of them will notice me instead of Mac or Tori or anyone else. I doubt it will happen but a girl can dream.

This past summer I began to work out more and work on trying to look good. I practiced hair styles and makeup and walking with a purpose. As soon as I got out of the house, I felt stupid. Who was I trying to impress? I’m not like Mac or Tori or any of the other girls.

Quinn helps me through this. She is a lot like me. She’s shy and that’s why we get along. We both like going to the library more than the mall. I can always count on her to be there for me.

But what happens if no one is there for me?

But come on. It’s America, not some deserted island or abandoned town. I’ll be fine, with my friend and my sister.

Quinn is finishing up with her journal so I will end it here so Quinn and I can talk again.

Love,

Penny
